This should have been dismissed instantly. "Institutions" are basically frameworks for navigating a complex web of contracts between people, either as individuals or groups. Ascribing something without agency "rights" is one of the more ridiculous legal propositions I've ever heard, even more than the attractive nuisance doctrine, which somehow makes me legally liable to account for your total lack of self-control and judgement.

I keep waiting for the Christian Scientists to speak up and say they won't cover any insurance because medical intervention is against their religious beliefs.

By the way, next time an antichoicer is yammering on about their tax dollars paying for abortions, kindly remind them that that is not the case. Since Roe vs. Wade, Congress has passed the Hyde Amendment in every budget appropriations bill, which stipulates that no federal funds may be allocated for abortions.
I feel like I should repeat that. It is the law in this country that no federal funds are used for abortion procedures. Anyone who says otherwise is lying.

2. Liberty "University" should be sued for false advertising. You can't teach creationism as science and be a university. Bill Maher has an hilarious riff on this very theme. Unfortunately I'm in South Korea and the plug in on youtube is blocked, but if you search youtube for "Bill Maher LIberty University" it's the first hit.

3. Jerry Falwell is still dead. so there's that....

Hope you're right, but you never know if Roberts may flip back to the conservative justices.

A perfectly valid and reasonable position.

(1) Is the law religion-neutral? That is, it does not single out a particular religion or religions for regulation; (2) Does it apply generally to everyone? Yes and yes? BOOOOM YOUR CASE IS DEAD!

The President should appoint 5 extra "justices".
